There was a proposition some time ago, to change the behavior to something 
that would satisfy BOTH UNIX-like and Windows-like users.

Fact is there are 3 X Window clipboards. SELECTION, PRIMARY, SECONDARY. The 
third one is just about never used.

How about:

Selection overwrites the SELECTION clipboard
Ctrl-C overwrites both the SELECTION and PRIMARY clipboards
Ctrl-V pastes from PRIMARY
Mouse middle button pastes from SELECTION

Anyone can find anything wrong with this picture?
